Case Study Research and International Tax Theory

Over the last ten years, legal scholars have begun to use what they describe as "case studies" in an effort to develop better theories about how governments can or should impose taxation on international activities. The attributes and function of case studies, while well-studied and documented in other disciplines, has not been explored in tax law scholarship. This Article explores case study research in international tax law scholarship and argues that legal scholars could significantly advance international tax theory by approaching their case studies more explicitly and more methodically, and especially by employing qualitative social science research methods. This approach to case studies would help legal scholars more effectively test established international tax theories and assumptions, reveal information that will help new theories and assumptions to emerge, and create new spaces for policy development in international tax law.
